Saint-Palais

Saint-Palais is a historic town of great importance and a fundamental crossroads in French Basque Country. It was the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Navarre, today it is a dynamic center of services for the region. For pilgrims on the routes of Le Puy and Vézelay, it is one of the last major stops before the convergence at Ostabat. The town, with its "Tuesday market", its bridge over the Bidouze River, and its heritage, such as "Giant's Head", offers an animated atmosphere and all necessary services. It is a strategic place for rest, refreshment, and to feel the pulse of Lower Navarre before facing the final stages towards the Pyrenees.
